For Trial (No Witnesses)T20067451 JAMES Daniel

After being postponed several times, it will be interesting to see whether there has been any change in the case being brought against Daniel.

The Prosecution in another Official Secrets Act case, that of Peter Stephen Hill, saw the charges under Section 1 of the OSA dropped, which indicates that there was insufficient evidence for a conviction regarding his alleged espionage involving the Russians, for which he was arrested back in November.

However, Peter still faces a charge under the Explosive Substances Act and he is due to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 25 February for a plea and case management hearing.
